How to get "loading" icon when starting apps

Asked by der_eismann

Hello there,

first: Thanks for your work on Plank, it really is an excellent dock.

However I encounter some minor problems on Ubuntu MATE 15.10 on my Raspberry Pi 2. I'm building some kind of cheap thin client with Plank as a dock and removed all MATE panels so users can only start the apps I allow.
Now the RPi 2 is a bit slow and starting Firefox takes sometimes up to 15-20 seconds - which isn't a problem, but with Plank it looks like nothing is happening. In MATE the mouse normally changes to some kind of loading icon, an hourglass if you want, and the bottom taskbar says "Firefox is starting". But when I click on the icon in Plank nothing happens until Firefox is suddenly open.

TL;DR: Is there a way to show people a program is being started so they don't click the icon ten times? Like the bouncing icons in OS X or something.

(Plank 0.10.1 on Ubuntu MATE 15.10)
